Cuttlebug Challenge - Love You Sweetheart

Hey everyone! It is time for the Cuttlebug Challenge project! Don't forget to visit Cuttlebug Challenge and check out the projects from my fellow designers. Also make sure you leave a comment so you can be entered to win the prize this month, which is...Designer's Calendar Cricut Cartridge!

For the project our challenge was to use hearts from at least 3 different cartridges and I thought I would go with a two page layout. I really loved the words that I found in Lyrical Letters "Love You" "Sweetheart" when I was searching for hearts and made that the basis of my layout.

A friend of mine was nice enough to send me some pictures that I could use with this layout, of course she does get the layout now that it is finished!

The patterned paper is K & Company from the Masion paper pack. The pink is Coredinations White Wash and the black is Coredinations Black Magic. I used Stardream Mica for the hearts to add a little subtle bling. Since the paper is a bit vintage looking I used the tan lens on my photo program to tone down the color of the pictures.

I used several different Cuttlebug folders also. I used Victoria on the Black Magic paper, Swiss Dots on the swirly heart and Script on the winged heart.

Here are close up pictures of the hearts. When cutting the hearts I did use the multi-cut of 2 since the Mica is thicker than regular cardstock. It cut the swirls perfectly using this setting. To split the double heart I simple adhered it to the send page and the cut along the edge of the page. I layed the pages next to each other to line it up and put the other half on the first page.

Here you can see the details a little better on other parts of the layout. I added flat back pearls to the scallop border and a few to the words on the title. The ribbon is a metallic sheer light lavendar and I tied a small heart charm on the ribbon on the second page. I used a paper piercer to make the faux stitching on the photo mats.

Absolutely LOVE this layout! Your attention to even the smallest of details is spectacular. I am also drooling over that Black Magic paper. I have some lighter colors of Coordinations cardstock--but not the Black Magic. Of course, now I want some.
